Anissa Straight Leg in Bon Bon

Jeans

$228as of Sep 6, 2026. Check the current price at Citizens of Humanity

The verdict

A stripe-detailed straight jean at upper mid-market pricing; solid for someone valuing subtle visual interest and heritage collection credentials.

Fit

Straight leg with stripe detailing through the side seam or body adds visual interest without structural change. Fit runs true; Mar Stripe refers to the specific stripe pattern, which will sit visible on the leg.

Quality

Citizens of Humanity's Humanity Collection delivers tighter tolerances and stripe-execution finesse compared to mainline. Seams are solid; expect 2-3 years of regular wear with strong color stability.

Price check

At $298 USD, the price reflects Humanity Collection positioning plus stripe detailing. Value is fair if heritage production and visual detail matter; otherwise it's a premium for relatively minor embellishment.

Best for

Someone seeking a straight jean with subtle visual personality who values the Humanity Collection's production standards and doesn't need a neutral basic.

Care

Wash inside-out and cold to preserve stripe color definition; stripe details are minimal seam stress, so standard care is sufficient.

Runs large

Citizens of Humanity tends to run about half a size large and stretches with wear, so most owners size down for a fitted look.

A stylist's sizing guide reports the brand "generally run[s] about half a size large" and that owners "expect about an inch of stretch in the waistband after a few hours of wear," advising those between sizes to go down one. Hands-on reviewers back this up across cuts: one who ordered her chart size in the Horseshoe jean found it loose and repurchased a size down, and a shorts reviewer says the relaxed styles "run really big" and always sizes down. The caveat owners flag is line-level: relaxed and baggy cuts run largest, while high-rise styles fit closer to true size — and older forum threads on the skinny-era styles were more mixed.

Sizing advice: Size down one if you're between sizes or want a snug fit — especially in relaxed and baggy cuts, which stretch and loosen with wear; stay true to size only if you want the intentionally slouchy look.

What owners report about Citizens of Humanity jeans

Owners report soft denim with a vintage feel and construction that holds up across years and repeat purchases; the stretch blends are noted for loosening with wear but recovering their shape after washing. The rigid all-cotton cuts have no give, and several owners who bought their usual size exchanged for one size up. Complaints center on the no-stretch cuts feeling restrictive through a full day, button-fly closures that divide opinion, and favorite styles being altered between seasons.

Strengths: Soft, substantial denim whose construction owners report lasting through years of wear and many washes.
Watch out for: The rigid all-cotton cuts have no stretch and run small, and owners complain when the brand changes closures or details on long-running styles.
Sizing: Several popular cuts run small — especially through the hips and thighs — so sizing up one size is commonly advised on the rigid styles, while the stretch styles fit closer to true size.
